Tanzania : Rise of nat ionalism (1945-1961) Updated September 2010 In the immediate aftermath of the war the priority of the colonial government was to place the economy on a healthy footing once more; this was assisted by the post-war boom demand for commodities, and the economy of thecolony boomed. The high demand for commodities and the rising wages and incomes to be earned drew increasing numbers of Africans into small scale commercial farming and into wage labour on the plantations (Columbia Encyclopedia 2004, PBS Foundation Undated). A 10-year planwas launched in 1946 to develop the territory, focusing on drawing greater numbers of Africans into thecash economy, improving education and bringing the indigenous people into the political framework through popularly elected local councils (PBS Foundation Undated). Aspects of the10-year plan, such as the Groundnuts Scheme, proved unworkable and had to be scaled down or abandoned (Government of Tanzania undated).In 1946 Tanganyika'

Uganda Independence Uganda's approach to independence was unlike that of most other colonial territories where political parties had been organized to force self-rule or independence from a reluctant colonial regime. Whereas these conditions would have required local and regional differences to be subordinated to the greater goal of winning independence, in Uganda parties were forced to cooperate with one another, with the prospect of independence already assured. One of the major parties, KY, was even opposed to independence unless its particular separatist desires were met. The UPC-KY partnership represented a fragile alliance of two fragile parties.

Fasihi simulizi na Andishi HISTORIA YA FASIHI SIMULIZI YA KIAFRIKA KWA MTAZAMO WA NADHARI ZA UTANDAWAZI, UTAIFA NA HULUTISHI.   Utangulizi Fasihi simulizi kwa mujibu wa Mlokozi (1996), ni fasihi inayotungwa au kubuniwa kichwani na kuwasilishwa kwa hadhira kwa njia ya mdomo na vitendo bila kutumia maandishi. Hivyo fasihi simulizi inafungamana na muktadha au mazingira fulani ya kijamii na kutawaliwa na muingiliano wa mambo kama vile Fanani, Hadhira, Fani inayotendwa, Tukio, Mahali pamoja na Wakati wa utendaji. Balisidya (1983) anasema fasihi simulizi ni aina ya fasihi ambayo hutumia mdomo katika kuumbwa, kuwasilishwa na kusambazwa kwa wasikilizaji na watumiaji wake. Mteru,M (1983) anasema fasihi simulizi ni aina ya fasihi inayotumia mdomo kwa kuumba na kusambaza. Fasili zote zinazungumzia kitu kilelekile kwamba fasihi simulizi inategemea sana uwepo fanani, hadhira, jukwaa na mada inayotendwa. Hivyo kwa ujumla tunaweza kusema kuwa Fasihi simulizi ni san
